Chip seals are important Pavement Preservation applications, and when they are constructed properly will increase the life of a pavement. There will be instances where conditions or available materials dictate that the contractor, supplier or specifying agency need to deviate from these recommendations. It is very important that the contractors, suppliers and agencies work together and use common sense to modify procedures and practices contained in this document. In 2003, the Arizona Chapter Associated General Contractors Pavement Preservation Committee developed this guideline to identify “best practices” to be used during the application of a chip seal. This revision was done by the current Pavement Preservation Committee, re-established in 2011. The committee is comprised of contractors, material suppliers, aggregate producers and agency personnel. Special thanks to our partners in the Arizona Department of Transportation: Bill Hurguy, State Materials Engineer, and Janet Doersling – Manager Pavement Materials Testing for their contributions to this revision.

Chip seal applications are designed as a surface seal. Chip seals extend the life of the pavement by the prevention of moisture intrusion into base course and sub-grade. Additional benefits include increased skid resistance and improved aesthetics. When properly constructed, a chip seal application is a cost effective preservation tool that provides improved life cycle benefits. Many variables affect the successful application of a chip seal, including: • Existing Surface Condition • Surface Preparation • Materials • Placement Practices • Construction Procedures 2 - Surface Preparation 2.1 Maintenance Significant deficiencies in the pavement surface must be repaired before applying a chip seal to the roadway. Potholes must be filled and ruts of significant depths must be leveled. Cracks ⅛ inch or wider must be filled. Crack filler overbands on the pavement surface should not exceed 4 inches wide and ⅛ of an inch thick. Pavement edge deterioration should also be repaired. The type of material used for the various repairs is important and can affect the quality and overall longevity of the finished chip seal surface. Cold mix patching materials and crack sealant need time to cure before placing a chip seal. 2.2 New Construction 2.2.1 When a chip seal is constructed directly on sub-grade, aggregate base course or RAP, the sub-grade should be graded smooth and thoroughly compacted. When needed, aggregate base course should be a minimum of two (2) inches thick, graded smooth, and thoroughly compacted. The chip seal should be applied within 24 hours of the surface preparation. Depending on the binder used it may be necessary to apply a prime coat to the prepared surface prior to chip sealing. It is recommended that prime coat be allowed to cure for 48 hours prior to the chip seal application.

This can be the difference between a positive pay lot and a penalty or even reject. 3.1.2 With stockpiles being placed within close proximity to any plant, sufficient pad(s) shall be constructed to mitigate ground loss, and material contamination from the surrounding area. Stockpiles shall be constructed to account for moisture and ensure that proper drainage is considered. The pad(s) created for the stockpile(s) should extend beyond the edge of each stockpile one-bucket width of the largest equipment used on site. Stockpile(s) shall be constructed so as to minimize aggregate segregation. Arizona Chapter AGC Pavement Preservation Series Chip Seal Guide for Application and Construction 2 3.1.3 Stockpile height shall be consistent and shall not exceed 45 forty-five feet (45') upon completion. Stockpile(s) shall also be built to ensure minimization of “coning” (if over a tunnel) – a stockpile should be built with ledges (or layers) in even sections of thickness to minimize aggregate segregation (see NAPA commentary – Stockpiling). If aggregate is loaded on top of a conical stockpile then larger aggregate sizes are more likely to roll to the outside and bottom). In all cases the loader operator shall try to prevent driving up onto a stockpile. As much care as possible in the handling of chip seal aggregate must be taken to reduce all variables for the aggregate to be segregated. 3.1.4 Aggregate material should also be blended appropriately and evenly across the face of the entire stockpile and not from side to side as this could cause additional segregation. 3.1.5 It is important to utilize an aggregate material that is composed of clean and durable crushed rock or crushed gravel. All binder types will have problems adhering to aggregate that has too high a percentage of fines or aggregate that is coated with fine dust. All aggregate should be processed to meet the gradation and physical property requirements. The following tests concerning the physical requirements of the aggregate have proven to contribute to superior chip seal performance (see Table 1). Table 1.

ADOT Section 404-2.02 Cover Material as applicable for traffic load. Arizona Chapter AGC Pavement Preservation Series Chip Seal Guide for Application and Construction 3 3.2 Chip Seal Binders 3.2.1 There are numerous types of binder materials utilized in chip seal applications. These various binder materials are an important part of successful chip seal construction as they will affect the speed of set time to return to traffic, performance characteristics with lower quality aggregate, rejuvenating properties, aggregate embedment, aggregate retention, resistance to traffic damage and resistance to temperature variation. Each binder type may require a different application rate to ensure the appropriate amount of residual binder on the pavement. In Arizona the following binder types are used. Recommended ADOT specifications are listed for each binder type: • Conventional Emulsified Binder Materials (Section 1005, Table 1005-3) • Modified Emulsified Binder Materials (Section 1005, Table 1005-3a & b) • Polymer Modified Binder Materials (Section 1005, Table 1005-1a) • Asphalt-Rubber Binder Materials (Section 1009, Table 1009-2) • Cut-back Binder Materials (Section 1005, Table 1005-2) 3.2.2 In general, the base binder controls the temperature properties of the chip seal. Softer binders are generally more flexible and have better low temperature properties. Harder binders are tougher and generally have better high temperature properties. Polymer, tire rubber and other modifiers will influence these properties as well. It is generally accepted that the penetration of the residual binder indicates the acceptable temperature range of the binder (40 to 90 dmm) for hot climates and (100 dmm+) for colder climates. 3.2.3 Polymers, tire rubber and other modifiers also contribute to the high and low temperature properties of the binder and will improve aggregate retention of the chip seal. There are several test procedures that indicate the level of modification of the chip seal binder. These tests include: Softening Point, Ductility, Elastic Recovery, Resilience, Torsional Recovery, Force Ductility and Residue Performance Grading (PG). 3.2.4 In addition to the individual characteristics of each binder type, they each have unique handling requirements. Emulsified binder materials should be stored so that they do not freeze and all binder materials should not sit stagnant for extended periods of time. Also, for all binder types the contractor should follow the suppliers handling procedures and recommendations. 4 - Aggregate and Binder Application Rates It is recommended that a chip seal design procedure be utilized to establish targets for binder and aggregate application rates. (See suggested example chip seal design in Appendix A.) Arizona Chapter AGC Pavement Preservation Series Chip Seal Guide for Application and Construction 4 Considerations for binder application rate(s) are as follows: • Aggregate gradation and quality • Type of binder • Existing roadway conditions (deterioration and porosity of the roadway) • Maintenance efforts and timing of those efforts prior to chip seal application • Traffic conditions (present and future volume and percentage of traffic) • Weather and environmental conditions Typically the aggregate embedment should range from 50% to70% after rolling and the removal of the loose material. The finished product should result in an application of chip seal aggregate that is “one stone deep.” The binder and aggregate application rates should be adjusted to account for the considerations listed above. When special conditions exist such as placement in intersections, on unpaved roadways and parking lots, etc. additional adjustments to methods and application rates may be required 5 - Construction Procedures Prior to the application of the binder, the existing surface must be cleaned of all foreign materials. Mechanical sweepers or brooms and air blowing if necessary, will usually accomplish this cleaning. Once the surface is sufficiently clean and dry, the chip seal application can take place. The chip seal should normally be applied when the surface temperature is 85 F and the ambient temperature is 65 F and rising. (Surface temperature should be taken prior to start of operations). 5.1 - Application Temperature Proceed with caution when ambient temperatures begin to fall below 70 F before the application has a chance to cure. No material should be applied when rain is imminent or when the wind is excessive. The information contained in Table 2 provides seasonal consideration guidelines for a chip seal application in Arizona. . Table 2. Recommended Chip Seal Application Area Elevation Recommended Dates Mountain Areas Above 5,000 Feet June 1 – August 31 Foothill Areas 3,500 to 5,000 Feet May 1 – September 30 Deserts Below 3,500 Feet March 15 – May 31 September 1 – October 31 Caution should be exercised when ambient temperatures exceed 110 F as additional cure time may be required. Arizona Chapter AGC Pavement Preservation Series Chip Seal Guide for Application and Construction 5 5.2 - Binder Application It is important that the distributor truck be in good working order. Distributor trucks should be “certified” as described in ADOT specification 404-3.02. The distributor must be capable of applying the binder uniformly in both transverse and longitudinal directions at the desired rate. The distributor must be in good mechanical condition, and must be equipped with a functioning computer rate control (CRC). The spreader bar must be properly adjusted for height, contain the correct size of spray nozzles for the type of binder being applied, and the nozzles must be set at the angle recommended by the manufacturer, for efficient coverage. The binder must be at the application temperature recommended by the supplier. 5.3 - Volume Measurement The volume of material in the distributor truck must be determined in advance so that you can keep track of how much material is used. To determine the volume of material in the distributor truck; • Make sure that the distributor is on level ground. • Read the volume gauge • Read the temperature gauge. • Correct the volume reading for the temperature of the material us in Temperature Volume Corrections for Emulsified Asphalts in Appendix B or the Temperature – Volume Corrections for Hot Asphaltic Materials shown in Appendix C. Arizona Chapter AGC Pavement Preservation Series Chip Seal Guide for Application and Construction 6 5.4 - Aggregate Application The application of the aggregate shall be accomplished by means of a calibrated chip spreader. The chip spreader should be calibrated prior to the start of each operation. The chip spreader must be a self-propelled, computerized rate controlled (CRC) unit capable of an application width of fourteen (14 ) feet or greater. The spreader must be in good mechanical condition and capable of applying the cover aggregate uniformly across the spread width. 5.5 - Rolling A sufficient number of self-propelled pneumatic-tired rollers must be utilized to cover the full width of the application in one pass. The first pass must take place immediately behind the chip spreader. Rolling shall continue until three passes are complete. 5.5.1 The rollers must be staggered and the rolling speed should be determined by the production/speed of the chip box. It is recommended the rolling take place at a maximum speed of five (5) mph. As long as proper aggregate embedment is achieved, rolling speeds may be increased. This ensures adhesion of the aggregate to the binder. 5.5.2 The rollers should carry a minimum loading of 2,000 pounds on each wheel, with a minimum tire pressure of 90 psi or as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Arizona Chapter AGC Pavement Preservation Series Chip Seal Guide for Application and Construction 7 5.6 -Aggregate Hauling The aggregate haul trucks must be tailgate discharge and must have a device to lock onto the hitch of the chip spreader. The trucks must be compatible with the chip spreader to eliminate aggregate spillage while dumping into the receiving hopper. 5.7 - Sweeping Initial sweeping of the loose aggregate should take place after the binder has properly set. The timeframe for sweeping depends on cure time of the binder, ambient or surface temperature, and other variables. Subsequent sweeping may be required depending on embedment and retention of the aggregate. 5.8 - Traffic Control All traffic, with the exception of necessary construction equipment, should be kept off the newly applied chip seal until it has had time to properly set. Traveling speed should not exceed 15 mph over a freshly sealed surface until the loose aggregate is removed. Special care should be taken at intersections to prevent dislodging of chip seal aggregate. Arizona Chapter AGC Pavement Preservation Series Chip Seal Guide for Application and Construction 8 Turning should be limited until the initial sweeping is completed. Note: Barricades, signage and traffic control will follow current MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) standards. 6 - Special Chip Sealing Procedures There are special procedures and/or materials that can be utilized to improve the quality of the chip seal or to allow its use in unique conditions. The following is a list of these procedures: 6.1 - Fog Seal Application Some chip seals are completed with the application of a fog seal after the final sweeping. Benefits include improved chip retention, prevention of raveling and improved aesthetics. The surface should be dry and must be free of loose aggregate and foreign materials. Emulsified asphalt materials must be diluted with water and applied by a distributor (as previously discussed) at an application rate of 0.08 to 0.12 gallons per square yard or adjusted as necessary in the field. Arizona Chapter AGC Pavement Preservation Series Chip Seal Guide for Application and Construction 9 6.2 - Double Chip Seals The first application of the double chip seal is the same as a single chip seal procedure. The second application may utilize a smaller aggregate gradation than the first application, which interlocks with the larger aggregate. This application is used to extend the life of a deteriorated pavement, or can be applied as a new surface on prepared native soil or aggregate base surfaces. 6.3 - Scrub Seals This technique involves the use of a drag broom or squeegee that is positioned behind the distributor spray bar, followed if needed by a light application of sand or cinders. Scrub seals are often constructed to fill cracks using special binder materials designed for extending the life of a pavement. 6.4 - Cape Seals This is a chip seal that is overlaid with a slurry seal or a micro-surfacing material. Some benefits of this procedure are the elimination of loose aggregate, less tire noise, a less course surface texture and can result in a longer service life of the pavement. Chip Seal is Paced Slurry Seal is Placed Cape Seal Finished Surface Arizona Chapter AGC Pavement Preservation Series Chip Seal Guide for Application and Construction 10 6.5 - Modified Binders Modified binders are asphalt binders that have been modified with polymers, crumb rubber, or other additives. These materials are applied the same as conventional binders, but can be specified for varying road conditions. Using modified binder materials can result in better performance and increased service life of the road surface due to improved physical properties and heavier application rates. Arizona Chapter AGC Pavement Preservation Series Chip Seal Guide for Application and Construction 11 7 - Summary The following is a summary of the important requirements that MUST be used to obtain a quality chip seal product. • Complete all needed repair work and allow adequate curing time prior to the placement of the chip seal. • The chip seal shall be applied when the surface temperature is 85° F and the ambient temperature is 65°F and rising. • Use the aggregate recommended in Table 1. • Test materials for the project before and during construction to determine specification compliance. • Thoroughly clean/flush distributor trucks and clean chip box prior to changing types of binder materials. • Calibrate the chip spreader daily for uniform quantity and aggregate coverage. • Adjust spray nozzles on the distributor spray bar for proper angle and set bar height for proper fan overlap. • Start binder application only when the chip spreader and aggregate trucks are in line and the pneumatic tire rollers are ready to begin rolling. • The distributor truck should stay within 200 feet of the chip seal box. • The first pass should take place immediately behind the chip spreader with three passes completed within 1/2 hour (30 minutes) of the aggregate application. • Initial sweeping of the loose aggregate should take place after the binder has properly set. • Special care should be taken at intersections to prevent dislodging of chips by turning vehicles. • Depending on embedment and retention of aggregate in the binder a second or final sweeping may be required.

Arizona Chapter AGC Pavement Preservation Series Chip Seal Guide for Application and Construction 14 Appendix A Chip Seal Design There are several procedures for determining the appropriate quantity of asphalt binder and cover aggregate for chip seal applications. These methods usually involve utilizing laboratory tests to determine the average least dimension, voids, and bulk specific gravity of the cover aggregate. Using the results derived from these tests along with pavement and traffic conditions in various empirical mathematical equasions, allows for determination of the required quantities of asphalt binder and aggregate. Typical design procedures are available from ASTM, AASHTO, and many state DOT's, including the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). The goal of any of these procedures is to have aggregate particles to be approximately 70% embedded in the asphalt binder. When a one-sized cover aggregate is applied by a calibrated spreader onto a properly applied asphalt binder, the particles will be randomly oriented. After rolling/compaction and application of traffic, the aggregate particles should realign with about 20 percent voids between the particles. A desirable design is usually based on 60 to 75 percent of the voids being filled with the asphalt binder. Adjustments must be made for the traffic volume, surface condition/porosity of the pavement or surface and the characteristics of the cover aggregate (size, shape, gradation and specific gravity). Rather than utilizing one of these complex design procedures, a range of asphalt and aggregate application rates is provided in the following table to serve as a guide for estimating the proper quantity of materials for a given aggregate size. The indicated quantities of aggregate and asphalt binder cover the range of conditions that vary from primed granular bases to aged and oxidized pavement surfaces. The quantities and types of materials may require adjustment according to local conditions and experience.

The quantities and types of materials may be varied according to local conditions and experience. 1 2 The weight of aggregate shown in the table is based on an aggregate specific gravity of 2.65. If the measured aggregate specific gravity differs from this value by 0.1 or greater, the amount of aggregate shown in the table above should be multiplied by the ratio of the actual specific gravity to 2.65. 3 The lower application rates of asphalt shown in the above table should be used for aggregate having gradations on the fine side of the specified limits. The higher application rates should be used for aggregate having gradations on the coarse side of the specified limits. 4 It is important to adjust the asphalt quantity for the surface condition of the road, increasing it if the road is absorbent, badly cracked, or coarse, and decreasing it if the road is flushed with asphalt. (See table below.) 5 It is important to adjust the asphalt quantity for traffic count and conditions. An increase in traffic will mean a decrease in asphalt content.

Note: The quantities of aggregate and asphalt determined in this design procedure are a result of the methodology used to account for the average range of conditions that include primed granular bases and old pavement surfaces. The quantities and types of materials may vary according to local conditions.
